Looks good, sounds great and is perfect working order. I hate to sell this but I’m doing guitar music exclusively now, and simply don’t need it anymore. ” Link

NOW, this particular unit has begun to mal-function and needs repair! I don’t know exactly how serious a problem it has. Symptoms: When powered on, it emits a shrill, high-pitched tone which does not stop. The display panel flashes momentarily, then goes blank. The three indicator lights: CMT, EDIT and PLAY all are lit up. When I push several of the buttons, a faint sound is added that is akin to the sound an old phone modem makes. That’s about all I can tell you. Prior to this, the unit worked fine. It still has something going on under the hood, I’m just not sure what.

My suggestion is this: either buy it for a discounted price and have it fixed, OR use the unit for spare parts to be put into other ailing MicroComposers out there that are still being used. If you buy it and repair it, you may have gotten yourself a fantastic unit at a great price. I have noted that working Micro-Composers sell for as much as $750.00 on eBay.” Link

Shows sign of heavy use. Works great. Comes as seen in pictures, so don’t miss out on this great deal. ” Link

Der kurze Test bei mir zeigte keinen Fehler.

Ich denke, wenn jemand so ein altes Keyboard sucht, dann hat er hier ein schönes Teil.” Link

THIS POWERS UP
but only makes a very feint sound ?
it needs a service and we are selling it as ‘ spares’ or repair only
NO WARRANTY, NO RETURN , SOLD AS FOUND PLEASE” Link

Everything works and programs as it should and has only had very light “Private” use and not been gigged, etc…..
You will not find another like it on Ebay or anywhere else that will come with

Original box (with polystyrene protective case)
Original programming/user instruction booklet (no tears or ripped pages)
Original procedure table
Original power adaptor (this is how little use it has had)
Original Roland protective case.” Link

it has some wear & tear due to its age

a classic item sad to see it leave….” Link

Was working fully, until (I believe) a power supply component was damaged (batteries didn’t work either)

This is an American import, so needs an American power supply.

Probably an easy fix or could be used for parts.” Link

It lives in a Roland Hard case.

it has some scratches from where the plug has come into contact with the rear face when studio hands have packed it up after use over the years & the odd one on the side panels as I’ve captured in the photo but it in no way detracts from the play of the synth what so ever.

Everything works as it should.
No missing or broken switches or buttons.

This is a great synth in good condition.” Link

The synth is in perfect working order and great cosmetic shape with no scratches or nicks. it comes with the original case

I’ve had it tuned up at Main Drag where they fixed a faulty broken tuning pot and did general cleaning.

The SH2 is a 2 oscillator monosynth from the early eighties. It also has a noise filter too for creating swaths of ambient awesomeness. I have used the noise filter to make some really cool cymbal type sounds for drum programming.

It has the heaviest square/triangle bass Ive heard. Much faster attack than, for example, the minimoog.

each Oscillator has four octaves and functions independant of the other. you can tune and detune them to your hearts content.

What Ive used this for most of all has been feeding drum programming , mostly kick drums, through its external input and filtering the signal to create subs which you can then tune to the track. It’s amazing what this does for tracks. ” Link

Das Gerät befindet sich in einem normalen altersbedingten benutzten Zustand.

Die 303 hat ein paar Macken und Kratzer, auf der linken oberen Gehäuseseite ist ein Stück Plastik abgebrochen.

Wie man auf den Fotos sehen kann gab es keinen Batteriesäureschaden, das Batteriefach ist sauber.

Die Taster reagieren dem Alter entsprechend, hin und wieder kommt es zu Prellern.

Die Potis funktionieren einwandfrei ohne Störgeräusche, lediglich der Volume Poti knistert etwas beim verstellen,

was aber nicht stört, da man daran ja normalerweise nicht dreht.” Link

das gerät hat die battery mod (speicher bleibt auch ohne grosse batterien erhalten) und neue original alps taster (also kein ödes prellen beim programmieren)

der leider fast schon übliche (aber sauber gereinigte und ohne negative auswirkung gebliebene) säurevorfall sei auch erwähnt – leider haben das ja sehr viele 303en – und leider wird das ja nicht selten verschwiegen (ist mir selbst bei 2 geräten so gegangen)” Link

One plastic fader knob missing -does not affect function ( see photo #8)” Link

All the knobs and pots work well. Cosmetically this example is fair to poor. There is a very bad burn mark shown in one of the photos which has quite severely damaged the plastic front case area where the burn is. Please do be aware that this does not affect the function in any way at all. The function is still perfect. This burn mark was caused by the previous owner. We have looked after this synth exceptionally well. The rest of the bodywork of the synth looks pretty good but I have to call this the wrong side of fair, i.e. towards poor in fairness. Please don’t let this put you off. These are still rare and this is red and looks beautiful still despite the sad burn mark which is of course a disappointment.

This example does come with a power supply. However please note that the power supply is not a Roland original. It is a supply which has been tested to work with this synth and has been used for several months without any problem at all.” Link

If you are looking at this then you should know what it is and what it’s capable of ,as well as being a classic piece of musical history,

if you need info then type in Roland uk, then type in jupiter 8 there is loads of information on the web.

I aquired this jupiter 8 from Pinewood studios in 2009 (yes where they make the james bond films) I could not believe the condition when I saw it,

Some scratches on the back over the roland name, and a small scratch on the right hand end plate.

But this did not put me off as all the sliders, nobs, etc, are solid and graphics like new.

I believe it has been used on various film & tv projects, (obviously) so yes it has a very interesting history behind it.

The original manual is still with it which is very rare, and also the manual for the midi set up.

The original dust cover is still with it but is torn at one end, I still use it, just put a bit of gaffer tape on it.

I love the jupiter, now I have used it on my own projects and they are completed, it’s time to find it another good home.

I can show the buyer proof it came from pinewood when they collect.” Link

This has been used in my home studio and I have used it on many projects over the years. It is in perfect working order and comes with patch cables and the original Instruction Manual and Patch Book.

It is on the US power system (110v) so a power converter is needed.

Classic 5 modules
M-112 dual VCO, with 3 CV ins, 2 outs, and weak/strong sync
M-121 dual VCF, with an low-pass and high-pass filters
M-130 dual VCA, with a linear/exponential switch
M-140 dual Envelope (ADSR, invertable, and manual gate button) and LFO (5 waveforms with switchable range: x1, x1/10)
M-150 Ring Mod, Noise (pink and white), S&H (with lag), and LFO (5 waveforms with switchable range: x1, x1/10)” Link

Great versatile synth, used but all the big names. If your viewing this then I assume you know its reputation. ” Link

May I start by apologising for the photographs They really dont do it justice i will take some better ones in the daylight tomorrow

these are versatile little machines they have got two useful trigger outs it can slave or master sync24 , they are great for modding , the mods are really easy and really enhance the machine , if you do mod it don’t bother with the bass drum mod it’s difficult and it sounds really hollow not like an 808 at all and it’s difficult to reverse ,I speak from experience as I have another fully modded 606 otherwise the is no way I’d sell this it’s great !!!!

It works flawlessly , the front panel is in near perfect condition probably the best ive seen , really really nice , perfect ledgending and no paint wear round the knobs there are 2 small plastic chips at two side corners this is very common on tb303 and tr606

The rear panel has some paint wear around the battery door which i thought might be caused by a battery leak

I opened the unit when I got it and confirmed that there is no corrosion or crystals inside the machine the paper insert is in good condition and if there had have been battery leak it would have dissolved See photos nice and clean inside

There are two potentiometer caps missing unfortunately , these come up on eBay occasionally and I have heard that a Japanese company have reproduced them , of course you can just use any knob that fits a standard shaft I have supplied two knobs , they look ok I’d say if you sprayed them silver they blend in better they do the job anyway ” Link

The RC-100 remote control can be used for the S-50, S-330, S-550 and S-7XX samplers.

That’s about all I know about it.

No way for me to test it but most all Roland stuff is pretty bullet proof.” Link
